Answer: She aimed to assimilate and adopt British customs as thoroughly as possible

Explanation:

In Andrea Levy's essay, ''Back to My Own Country'', her family, having immigrated from Jamaica to Britain, is introduced.

Desiring to blend in with British society, her family endeavored to behave and speak as authentically British as they could manage. Andrea followed suit, which made her somewhat apathetic toward Jamaica; she didn't even mention her homeland to her friends (not that they were particularly interested).

Answer:

"IT MATTERS NOT WHAT SOMEONE IS BORN BUT WHAT THEY GROW TO BE" – J.K. ROWLING, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

This quote means a person's beginnings, whether impoverished or disadvantaged, do not dictate their future achievements or position of power. Similarly, one born with illness can still become a champion athlete, and vice versa.

Being born with advantages doesn’t guarantee an easy life; struggles affect everyone regardless of their start.

Examples include:

Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Okonkwo in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
